Dogs & Sheeps

I've held my tongue
So people don't take what I say wrong
I stand beside the laws
From keeping us
Going into complete chaos
And becoming a wild beast
Abide or become a wild dog
That has no home training
I would consider you dangerous
Obstructing justice
Conformity makes sure there is a stable function
What do you gain this time
How do you maintain that life
When are y'all gonna not keep dying
Who's great fight are y'all fighting
Honestly but hear me out
Society kicked us out
They needed a lower class
Under the lower class
And label us bad
For the situation they got us in
Y'all strive off our injustices
But that's just what it is
Gotta look at it that way
Or risk going insane
Circling the block
Mans got dropped
21 shots fired
Late at night
We tired
Labor through the hard times
I had to take what's mine
Seen as the lesser kind
Keep dividing my kindness
Always seeking what the con is
This mental state too common

Dogs & sheeps
You either chase or lead
It's a game to me
Doesn't matter whose blood bleeds
Dogs & sheeps
No one said it'd be easy
Wolves need to eat
Decide before they feast

I shook hands with the white man
To better understand why the black man
Is three-fifths and if I can
Get a deal so I can heal
My community for real
Sold my culture to these vultures
I'm aware of the poachers
Believing they'd trust me
But I'm starting to see
Y'all look at me as just another
So here's my resignation letter
I'm rioting, going on strikes, applying pressure to the oppressors
Because they care not for how many of us are on the stretcher
Ruining property
Because we in poverty
Police don't treat us properly
That's probably
Why we act out
There ain't no way out
The deaths I count
I can't confirm
I was like since I was born
The people I've mourned
For being what others wanted
Is horrifyingly haunting
I'm using music to speak
That's how they listen me
They let me talk alot
The truth is what I aim to say
But if I spill to much
I might end up

Dogs & sheeps
You either chase or lead
It's a game to me
Doesn't matter whose blood bleeds
Dogs & sheeps
No one said it'd be easy
Wolves need to eat
Decide before they feast
